San Isidro became the capital of the Philippines during the First Republic while President Emilio Aguinaldo was moving north to avoid being captured by American forces.
San Isidro was the capital of Nueva Ecija from 1852 to 1912.[5] San Isidro, along with its origin Gapan, Aliaga, Cabiao, and San Antonio were transferred from Pampanga to Nueva Ecija in 1848. After the first cry against the Spanish colonial government was made in 1896, there were 2,000 revolutionary soldiers under General Mariano Llanera who sieged San Isidro.[6]
On March 29, 1899, General Emilio Aguinaldo declared San Isidro as the capital of the Philippines[5] after the revolutionary capital Malolos, Bulacan was captured by the Americans. However, this was short-lived. General Frederick Funston planned the capture of Aguinaldo to end the Philippine–American War, in San Isidro.
The Wright Institute, established in 1903 in San Isidro, was the first high school established outside Manila during the American period.[6]
The town was occupied by Japanese troops in 1942, during World War II. The combined U.S. and Philippine Commonwealth ground forces liberated San Isidro and defeated the Japanese forces in 1945 during the end of the war.[citation needed]
On September 11, 1989, Mayor Enrique Lorenzo was on his way back from Manila to San Isidro with his wife Aurora, their driver and one of their security personnel when they were ambushed by four gunmen along the Sta.
